Building a low-waste food economy

India’s transition from eating to live to eating right for life has made a low-waste food economy a national necessity. Addressing the estimated 18-20 billion in annual post-harvest losses is critical for ensuring future food security.

Halder Venture Limited is architecting this shift. As a leader in agri-processing, we embed circularity into our operations to ensure every grain is fully utilised.

●    25% Export Growth: Scaling the global reach of our high-quality rice to five international markets.

●    72% Surge in Edible Oil Sales: Reflecting deep consumer trust in our health-focused oil brands.

●    Strategic Resource Recovery: Utilising by-products like rice bran and husks to create value-added resources and industrial inputs.

The zero-waste revolution: Value from every by-product

Building a low-waste economy starts with redefining waste as a resource. At Halder Venture Limited, our zero-waste model ensures that nature’s bounty is fully utilised across the value chain.

●    Rice bran oil innovation: By extracting premium oil from rice bran, a byproduct of the milling process, we transform what was once overlooked into one of India’s healthiest cooking oils.

●    Halfeed  Pro vegetarian protein meal: Even after extraction, the remaining de-oiled rice bran (DORB) is converted into high-quality animal nutrition, ensuring zero waste of the harvest’s nutritional potential.

●    Traceable staples: Our shift toward contract farming initiatives promotes inclusive growth and ensures complete traceability, thereby reducing losses through enhanced quality control at the source.

Sustainability is not just about the product; it is about the footprint left behind during production. We are actively refining our manufacturing units to conserve vital resources:

●    Water conservation: We have significantly increased our rainwater harvesting capacity and implemented systems to recycle treated effluent, drastically reducing freshwater consumption.

●    Clean energy transition: We are in the process of installing solar power plants to replace conventional energy sources, powering our journey toward a greener production cycle.

●    Optimized logistics: By streamlining our integrated supply chain from sowing to delivery, we maximise value while minimising our footprint by reducing transit-related spoilage and carbon emissions.

Meeting the modern consumer: Branded for purity

The shift toward a low-waste economy is mirrored by changing consumer preferences. As urbanisation and nuclear families drive the demand for hygienically packed, ready-to-cook staples, the risk of food spoilage at the retail level decreases. Our brands are designed to meet this demand for safety, hygiene, and trust.

Looking ahead: Shaping a sustainable future

Our commitment to a low-waste food economy aligns with the broader national vision of transforming India into a global agricultural powerhouse by 2047. By leveraging our state-of-the-art facilities and expanding our global footprint to over 10 countries, we are demonstrating that economic growth and environmental stewardship can go hand in hand.

At Halder Venture Limited, we are not just processing harvests; we are curating the journey of food from field to plate, creating a resilient, efficient, and sustainable world for the next century.
